requirement, CSOSA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document. The proposed information collection activity provides a means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery. Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.

The Agency will only submit a collection for approval under this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:

1. The collections are voluntary;
2. The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents and the federal government;

3. The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of concern to other federal agencies;

4. Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future;

5. Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained;

6. Information gathered will be used only internally for general service improvement and program management purposes and is not intended for release outside of the agency;

7. Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions;
and

8. Information gathered will yield qualitative information; the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study. Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: the target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate,methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.

As a general matter, information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.

Current Actions: New collection of
information.

Type of Review: New Collection. (1) Affected Public: Individualscurrently or recently under courtordered supervision by CSOSA.

whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Data collections will be in the form of brief online surveys querying on customer satisfaction regarding outreach efforts. The surveys will examine the overall customer experience, perceived ability to obtain the desired or needed information or service, likelihood of continued use, likelihood of recommending use to others, and other open-ended qualitative feedback. The surveys will be voluntary and users must actively choose to participate. No personally identifiable information (PII)
or confidential information will be
collected. DoDIG will conduct two surveys per year, for a total of six surveys over the three-year period of the generic clearance. The topics of surveys
that will be conducted include:

• Web site Feedback—Online surveys assessing user experience for www.dodig.mil. Questions will focus on data required to collect by the White House Digital Strategy Requirements.

• Social Media Outreach—Querying users on social media preferences in order to improve outreach using these platforms.

• Report Dissemination—Studying the means by which users find and would prefer to find DoDIG reports.

• Customer Perception of Organizational Identity—Examining how the customer perceives DoD IG and
their awareness of its activities and
contributions.

The conclusions drawn from these
data collections will be essential for gauging effectiveness of communication efforts and improving customer
satisfaction. Dated: April 12, 2013. Aaron Siegel, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
